to- Shoulder With hershaw.
CHICAGO, H., June 29.-The creditors
of c. J. Kershaw & Co. secured an order
from the court. to-day, making Charles
B. Eggleston a general partner. and
thereby making him responsible for the
debts of the firm, which it is said APP
prOximate 81 600, 600 The next step
of the attorneys for the creditors
was to secure their interests by tying
up the property involved. An order
was issued by Judge Garnet restraining
Mr.. EggIestOn from dlspOsing of his real
estate pending a settlement of the ques-
tIOus at issue. The petition was filed bv
Maurice and Joseph Roseubaum and +.
{. Walker 4 Core presenting an in
debtedness of SOS, ,0O0-who desire to
have the assets Of kershaw & Co. dis
trlbuted among all the creditors pro rata,
and c. B. Eggleston declared q general
instead Of a special partner of the firm.
The difference to the creditors is very
material. If d special partner Mr. Eg-
glestOn is only liable to the extent of
S25, 600, contributed by him to the firm.
If a general partner his private property
may be taken for the firm debts and the
transfers of that to various parties, made
within the last few days, amounting 10
over $500 900 may be set aside
and this value added to the kershaw &
Co. assets. The interveners represent
that the assets of kershaw & Co, aside
from EgglestOn's property, are but nom
inal, but if the Eggleston couveyances
are set aside and his property subjected
